Understanding the Hierarchy of CAKE Entities

This article will cover:


What are Entities in CAKE?


Entities in CAKE are the elements of the CAKE system that have an associated ID. The entities in CAKE are as follows: 

  • Advertiser
  • Affiliate
  • Buyer
  • Buyer Contract
  • Campaign
  • Creative
  • Offer
  • Vertical 



The CAKE Workflow 



When configuring a new Offer or Campaign in CAKE, the following process should be followed to ensure proper setup. First, the Vertical and the Advertiser must be created in order to add a new Offer. Then, add in the Affiliate. Finally, create a Campaign which ties the Affiliate to the Offer they will be running traffic to.



The CAKE Hierarchy of Entities


Workflow Overview



CAKE is often referred to as a pyramid in regards to the workflow because there is a hierarchy of how things function. The settings for entities that are higher in the pyramid can override the settings for entities that are below them.
